Babies!!

I'm in Labor and Delivery. Have assisted in 5 births in 2 days. Pretty amazing. Emergencies are intense. For non-emergent ones, dads are a hoot to watch - wide eyed and white faced. And yes, handling the placenta was as "gross" as I thought it would be. Still really love general surgery in the main OR, but this is an experience I won't forget. Some surgeons require the room to sing happy birthday, really cool. 12 hr days long, but go by fast.
